tiny_ninjaWIP Wednesday... on Thursday. Because I'm not doing much writing right now.
Part of this is because I took stock on my craft fair inventory, and, uh... I should have been crocheting all summer. I bought some more cotton yarn and I'm building up stock of soap scrubbies, trivets, and crochet kitties right now. I should try to knock out a few more hats and scarves, but I worry those will take me two long. Craft fair is two months out, which is a lot of time, but said fair is also in the middle of NaNoWriMo, so I won't have as much time to crochet then. So that means busting out items now.
On the writing front, Press Start assignments went live on Sunday and I got a proper Setzer in Kingdom Hearts!! It was the one prompt I didn't think anyone would write and I'm so, so glad someone did. I also got a Karin story from Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and Edgar and Setzer being bros. And my gift was well received! I want to answer comments, but I'll do that once authors are revealed.
And today I finished editing the last big fight scene in A Hero Lies in You. It feels like it's clear sailing from here even though I have another 50 pages to go. But I'm hoping my pace picks up a bit and I won't keep staring at the pages, getting nowhere, lol.
Not much to share this week. I'm okay with that. I just want to finish up this edit (fucking. finally.) and then I can tackle another big project in November.
.........EDIT: Okay, so I lied. I do have writing news. I just ordered a Chromebook for my writing!
So, long story short: I never got any of my ten year anniversary awards from Starbucks. When I was given my plaque, I opened up the box to find the plaque of someone else's 20 year anniversary. My then-district manager apologized profusely, promised to get it to me as soon as she could, and never mentioned it again.
This was two and a half years ago.
One of Bryan's final acts as our manager was to get my plaque replaced, and my new manager gave it to me today. It's neat and all, but like... a plaque. So whatever. But it came with a card with a website for our perks program. I was bored, and figured "what the fuck," and checked it out. Apparently this also came with $100 in credit.
So I bought a Chromebook. My old MacBook from 2012 is still kicking, but needs an RAM upgrade in order to make it not shitty to use. It's now Jon's streaming computer and it works just fine for that, but it lagged something awful when I would take it to writing sessions. Considering that I plan on keeping Scrivener on the iMac and emailing whatever I need/using gdocs for the rest, I think this is a solid plan.
I also can pick it up at Best Buy tomorrow and I don't have to deal with the bullshit that is trying to have things shipped to my fucking house, but that's another story lololol
So yes. Jon had to talk me into buying it and not putting the money aside for "future use." I should do something nice for myself every once in a while. Happy late birthday to me!
